Today bringing another piece for our journaling surrounding
Give me your blessing, holy Child of God.
Today we practice differently and take a stand against our anger,
so that our fears may disappear and offer room to love.
Here is salvation in the simple words
which we practice with today's idea.
Here is the answer to temptation, which can never fail to welcome God
where fear and anger had prevailed before.
Here is Atonement made complete; the world passed safely by
and Heaven is now restored.
Here is the answer to the Voice for God.
Complete abstraction is the natural condition of the mind.
But part of it is now unnatural.
It does not look at everything as one.
It sees instead but fragments of the whole,
for only thus could it invent the partial world you see.
The purpose of all seeing
is to show you what you wish to see.
All hearing but brings to your mind
the sounds it wants to hear.
Thus were specifics made.
And now, it is specifics we must use in practicing.
We give them to the Holy Spirit that He may employ them
for a purpose that is different from the one, we gave to them.
Yet He can use what we made, to teach us from a different point of view,
so we can see a different use for everything.
One sister is all sisters.
Every mind contains all minds,
Yet do these thoughts make clear the meaning of creation...?
Do these words bring perfect clarity with them to you...?
What can they seem to be but empty sounds;
pretty, perhaps, correct in sentiment, yet fundamentally
not understood nor understandable.
The mind that taught itself to think specifically
can no longer grasp abstraction in the sense that it is all-encompassing.
We need to see a little that we learn a lot.
It seems to be the body that we feel limits our freedom,
makes us suffer, and at last puts out our life.
Yet bodies are but symbols for a concrete form of fear.
Fear without symbols calls for no response,
for symbols can stand for the meaningless.
Love needs no symbols, being true.
But fear attaches to specifics, being false.
Bodies attack, but minds do not.
This thought is indeed reminiscent of our text,
where it is often emphasized.
This is the reason bodies quickly become fear's symbols.
You have many times been urged to look beyond the body,
for its sight presents the symbol of love's "enemy" God's vision does not see.
The body is the target for attack,
for no one thinks he hates a mind.
Yet what but mind directs the body to attack...?
What else could be the seat of fear
except what thinks of fear...?
There must be a thing to be attacked.
An enemy must be perceived in such a form
she can be touched and seen and heard, and ultimately killed.
When hatred rests upon a thing,
it calls for death as surely as God's Voice proclaims
Fear is insatiable, consuming everything its eyes behold,
seeing itself in everything, compelled to turn upon itself and to destroy.
Who sees a sister as a body sees her as fear's symbol.
because what she beholds is her own fear external to herself,
poised to attack, and howling to unite with her again.
Mistakes, not the intensity of rage projected fear, must spawn.
It shrieks in wrath and claws the air in frantic hope
it can reach its maker and devour him.
This does the body's eyes behold in one whom Heaven cherishes,
the angels love, and God created perfect.
And in Christ's vision is her loveliness reflected in a form so holy
and so beautiful that you could scarce refrain from kneeling at her feet.
Yet you will take her hand instead,
for you are like her in the sight that sees her thus.
Attack on her is enemy to you, for you will not perceive
that in her hands is your salvation.
Ask her for this, and she will give it to you.
Ask her not to symbolize your fear.
Would you request that love destroy itself...?
Or would you have it revealed to you
Today we practice in a form we attempted earlier.
Your readiness is closer now,
and you will come nearer to God's vision today.
If you are intent on reaching it,
And once you have succeeded, you will not be willing
to accept the witnesses your body's eyes call forth.
What you will see will sing to you ancient melodies
You are not forgotten in Heaven.
Would you not remember it...?
Select one sister, symbol of the rest,
and ask salvation of her.
See her first as clearly as you can,
in that same form to which you are accustomed.
See her face, her hands and feet, her clothing.
Watch her smile, and see familiar gestures
which she makes so frequently.
Then think of this: What you are seeing now conceals from you
the sight of one who can forgive you all your sins;
whose sacred hands can take away the nails which pierce your own,
and lift the crown of thorns you have placed upon your bleeding head.
Ask this of her, that she may set you free:
Give me your blessing, holy Daughter of God.
I would behold you with the eyes of Christ,
and see my perfect sinlessness in you.
And She will answer Whom you called upon.
For she will hear the Voice of God in you,
Behold her now, whom you have seen as merely flesh
and bone, and recognize that God has come to you.
Today's idea is your safe escape from anger and fear.
Be sure you use it instantly, should you be tempted to attack a sister
and perceive in her the symbol of your fear.
And you will see her suddenly transformed
from enemy to leader; from the devil into an Angel.
